Millet is in fact a cereal, very small and round, yellow in colour, once very widespread, especially among the poor. Today it has fallen into disuse and has been replaced by meat. Its botanical name is panicum miliaceum, it belongs to the Gramineae family, and is native to the East. In ancient Egypt, in Roman times and in the Middle Ages, it was one of the basic foods of the diet because it is a rich source of carbohydrates and proteins. Today it is mostly widespread in Africa, while in the West it is mostly known as bird food. Millet is a cereal with multiple properties and which provides many benefits: it is rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus and silicon.
